Hello Summer! My favorite season of the year is summer. I enjoy most everything about summer, but the extreme high temperature accompanied with humidity. However, a sunny day by the pool or at the beach along with an ice-cold drink is my kind of day. Sunny Splash is a perfect birthday card for those who enjoy summer.

Directions
- Fold your So Saffron Cardstock in half at 5 ½. Stamp the sentiment “Make a Splash” about ½ inch from the bottom of the front of the card.
- Start by stamping a bathing suit in Sweet Sorbet on Basic White Cardstock and one in Tahitian Tide. Set aside to let the ink dry. Once the ink is dry cut out the bathing suits.
- Stamp the cocktail outline with Memento Black on Basic White Cardstock. Stamp the drink and ice with Parakeet Party Ink, the lemon in Daffodil Delight Ink and the umbrella in Sweet Sorbet Ink. Using the cocktail die, cut out the cocktail drink. Set aside for now.
- Using the scrap Cardstock, cut the top of the Palm tree from Parakeet Party, cut the base of the Palm tree using Soft Suede. Take Tahitian Tide and the 3rd Diorama die from the center and cut the water. Repeat with Basic White Cardstock using the 4th Diorama die from the center and cut the sand.
- To assemble the card, take the base of the Palm Tree and adhere it to the card front about 1 ¼ of inch from the left-hand side of the card. Using a dimensional attach the Palm Leaves to the top of the tree. Next take the Basic White Diorama piece and using the sand stamp from the Oceanfront Stamp Set and Crumb Cake ink stamp about ½ inch around the edge by inking the stamp, stamp off and then stamp the cardstock. Now adhere the sand to the card, then using dimensionals adhere the water to the sand. Add you Sweet Sorbet bathing suit and Cocktail drink with dimensionals on top of the water. Finish the front with Sweet Sorbet In-Color matte dots.
- Place the 4 x 5 ¼ Basic White Cardstock on the inside. Adhere the Tahitian Tide bathing suit in the upper left-hand corner. Finish by adding the Tahitian Tide DSP strip ½ by 4” about ¼ of an inch from the bottom. Add a sentiment if you wish.
I hope you enjoy “Sunny Splash”
